Zhao Xinling is a base inspector at the Green Forest Base.
To others, it's a prestigious job.
But for Zhao Xinling, this was a choice she had no other choice, because Zhao Xinling beast-taming talent was SSS+ Grade!
She once entered the best beast tamer academy in Chang'an Base as a commoner.
But during their sophomore year, the college issued a notice that it would send several gifted students to a more mysterious place for further study during their junior year.
It is said that the place is not on Blue Water Star, but seems to be deep in the starry sky.
Everyone wants such an opportunity.
Unfortunately, almost all those who qualified had SSS Grade talent, but they were all from aristocratic families.
Only Zhao Xinling has an SSS+ Grade talent.
It's fair to say that anyone could be pushed out, but no one can replace Zhao Xinling, a girl from a humble background.
But shortly after the incident was made public, she received a special mission from the academy, asking her to investigate a case in which all the civilians in a small base community died mysteriously.
The local base leadership had absolutely no clue about this matter, and it caused quite a stir. In the end, they had no choice but to request support from the higher levels of the base system.
The problem remained unresolved, and many more people died mysteriously.
Ultimately, the matter was resolved by her college, but this task inexplicably fell to her, becoming a task that exempted her from exams in her second year.
Zhao Xinling agreed without even thinking about it.
If she could be exempted from the exam, she could focus more on accumulating resources and allowing one of her beasts to evolve.
In the end, she found nothing, but after she left, all the anomalies at the base disappeared.
Humans are forgetful, and this matter was quickly forgotten.
But Zhao Xinling, as the investigator, encountered trouble; from then on, she never dreamed again.
But she always felt that she had a dream, but she could never remember what the dream was.
One of the key advantages of Zhao Xinling's SSS+ talent is that it gives her a more insightful and powerful soul than the average person.
Her improvement in soul strength is beyond that of ordinary people.
But since then, she has never dreamed again, and she always feels like she is in a daze.
This situation lasted for a month before finally subsiding.
But trouble arose: her tamed beasts continued to grow, but she sensed an inexplicable bottleneck.
At that time, she was already Bronze Rank Beast Tamer who had activated five Hidden Soul Star!
Prior to this, she had activated seven Hidden Soul Star on both the Gray Rock and Black Iron levels.
She couldn't activate the sixth Hidden Soul Star no matter what she tried; she always felt that her soul power was running out of steam.
With no other option, after nearly four months of delay, she had to advance to the Silver Rank.
But from then on, she found that her condition would deteriorate from time to time, and her progress would become slower and slower.
Even her tamed beasts experienced the same thing; they stopped dreaming and were stuck in some inexplicable bottleneck.
Having no other option, Zhao Xinling turned to the academy for help.
However, the people from the academy who came to examine her for problems could never find the cause.
Gradually, Zhao Xinling sensed something was wrong. It wasn't that the other party hadn't noticed the problem, but rather that they were afraid to help her solve it.
Shortly afterward, the college conducted another rigorous screening of the list of students eligible for further study.
Unsurprisingly, Zhao Xinling was not selected, which should have been no surprise. A girl from a prominent family in Chang'an Base, who was only SS Grade expert, took her place.
The reason lies in the uncertainty surrounding her development.
According to the college, the selection process for the list was rigorous and serious, and anyone related to those on the list was not allowed to participate.
Strangely, one of the vice deans who is also Zhao Xinling's teacher has chosen to remain silent on this matter.
From then on, the teacher even began to avoid contact with her.
After that incident, her condition never improved, and the college's examinations of her always yielded the same answer.
No abnormalities were found!
She didn't reach the Five-Star Silver level until graduation.
Her reputation as a fallen genius resounded throughout the entire academy.
After she graduated, her associate dean, feeling guilty, helped her find a stable job.
That was a Level 1 base inspector in the western region.
This job is simple, easy, and safe; the only downside is that the income isn't very high.
Zhao Xinling naturally understood that there was something fishy about her condition, but after consulting many people, she still couldn't figure out the real reason.
Those who could see the situation clearly were unwilling to tell her the truth, as if they had some reservations.
Zhao Xinling investigated herself, but found nothing.
Certain important information is strictly kept from ordinary people by those in power; the real news is never revealed to them.
She had already given up, but today, for some reason, she had a dream.
Even stranger, she smelled a terrible stench that she found unbearable, but she couldn't pinpoint its source.
She ran and ran across the barren land of her life, and gradually sensed that something was wrong.
It seems she's dreaming!
Moreover, it's very strange that Zhao Xinling is aware that she's dreaming. This extremely desolate world, which seems like a lifeless wasteland, is, in her instinctive consciousness, her dream world.
But why is the dream world like this? It feels like a desolate, barren land.
Zhao Xinling suddenly sensed something; her intuition told her that the root of all her problems lay in the center of the earth ahead.
She endured the terrible stench in the dream and ran forward.
Zhao Xinling was unwilling to accept her fate on the path of a beast tamer. Her strong will and desire to solve the problem made her endure the unpleasant feeling caused by the stench.
She ran and ran, feeling utterly exhausted, but she refused to give up, and finally reached the end of the dream world.
There, she saw countless building ruins with huge bite marks on them.
She saw land floating in the sky, forests, gardens, and countless familiar faces in paintings, but they were all rather incomplete.
She also saw the toys she played with as a child, and the scenes she dreamed of as a child, all in a broken state as if they had been bitten.
On this land, however, slumbers a terrifying humanoid life form, ten meters tall, with twisted, curved blades, resembling a bull demon.
The opponent was covered in eerie green flames and had long, snake-like hair.
The other party's aura was incredibly malevolent, as if he were the embodiment of all evil.
Most importantly, the shape of the other person's teeth was very similar to the gaps in the ruins.
Zhao Xinling understood; perhaps this thing was the culprit that caused her talent to no longer shine and her growth to stagnate.
Fortunately, amidst the stench, the thing inexplicably fell into a deep sleep.
But at that moment, Zhao Xinling discovered that a huge rift had suddenly been torn open in her dream world.
Then, an extremely young and handsome man appeared in his dream world, glanced at Zhao Xinling, flew down, picked up the demon that had been preventing her from making any progress, and flew away from his dream world.
Who are you? Why are you helping me?
Zhao Xinling asked.
The young man didn't answer, but paused in mid-air, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"I suggest that after your talent is restored, you change your appearance and identity, leave Chang'an Base as soon as possible, and develop in another super-large base."
"From now on, you must learn to conceal your true strength and not easily trust others. The powerful clans will not allow commoner beast tamers to rise to prominence!"
After saying that, the young man left.
This young man was none other than Jiang Ziliu, who sought to capture a living demon.
After that night, Zhao Xinling felt that her talent had returned, and that she could grow again.
She remembered the advice the mysterious young man in her dream had given her.
Her experiences over the years have also taught her some things.
So she quietly left the Chang'an Base and went to the Northwestern Large Base Cluster, where the influence of powerful families was weaker and the situation was extremely unstable.
From then on, Zhao Xinling, who deeply despised powerful and influential families and whose future name was Ice Heart Supreme, began her rapid and silent rise to power.
She later established a super- Human Race base that only admitted civilians, paving a way for the future of civilians!
